The grand wizards are no doubt looking for the final solution to leaving the EU so that they can set up a new world order.

So it seems the peoples vote has moved a step closer.
That's good.

And if there is any doubt about which side are the baddies in all this...

This has to be an unfortunate coincidence :bleeding:

Are they moving to rename Britain the Kingdom of Kupa Keep?

According to that article, their previous self-titling wasn't much better either, so the odds of they being just awkward and not fascist dirtbags are decreasing rapidly.

I do have this bizarre superstitious feeling that somehow, someway, and by some unknown means Britain will still muddle its way to success. Because it always seems to for some bizarre reason.

I think 2019 will be the year reality bites back.

Coincidence like Donald Trump naming his political movement after America's last major pro-fascist political grouping?

Exactly like that. Or it's all for the lulz.

Three government ministers, including the business minister resigned last night so they could vote for the MPs 'taking control' option.

Tomorrow, Wednesday it's rumoured up to Nineteen are prepared to resign from the 'government' in order to be able to vote freely in the day's extended ballot of options.   :bowler:

Ok so surely NOW May will have to step down. Like she should have done months ago...

Rumours are she will announce a standing down date tomorrow.

Though it's just as likely she'll continue to zombie PM along, maybe she likes the valet parking in central London too much?

They are the juniors. Secretaries are the leaders of departments.

I think now the EU any everyone not May is only about preparing for the ensuing blame-game for a crashout.

Labor is "considering" "supporting" "Norway 2.0".

Leaving aside for the moment that IIRC a key element of Norway 2.0 is the belief that an EU loophole will let the UK ignore the four basic freedoms at will, the Norway 2.0 proposal is about the future trade relationship. It has absolutely nothing to do with the withdrawal agreement i.e. how to go on while the details of N.2.0 are established. That's what the current deal is about. You can very well support Norway 2.0 but that should not stop you from voting for the present deal on the table. If you say so, that's utter BS, and a very lame excuse for inaction.
